Jeremiah 17:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 The heart is deceitful more than anything else,
and it is disastrous. Who can understand it?
10 I, Yahweh, examine the mind,[a]
I test the heart,[b]
and give to each one according to his way,
according to the fruit of his deeds.
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
is one who amasses wealth without justice.
In the middle of his days it will leave him,
and at his end he will prove to be a fool.”

American Standard Version
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 10 I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the [a]heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge [b]that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days [c]they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
